Iowa's Texting Ban Moves Forward

ROCK RAPIDS, IA -
Iowa could become the next state to crack down on texting while driving. The state senate passed a bill that bans texting while driving, including an amendment that includes reading text messages as well as sending them.

Iowans we talked with say it's about time.

Sara Delfs admits she used to text while driving, but a frightening experience brought that to a screeching halt.

"I actually had somebody come in my lane one time and it looked like they were texting and I have two little kids so I try not to do any of that," Delfs said.

Joan Saeger agrees and has seen first-hand how dangerous it is.

"Our grandson got ran into in Sioux Falls by someone who was texting. I think they do that stuff too much," Saeger said.
